[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7514238, member: 79141"] [b]Session 201, Part Two - Seriously – YOU’RE Betraying Us?!?[/b] It was evident that the ritual he had used to hijack Beshela’s communion had left him in control of the titan: At his command, she unleashed her most terrifying weapon – a deadly ululation that had driven hundreds of sailors mad, and sent thousands more to their watery graves. The entire unit quailed, and some fell. Little Jack was shattered mid-flight, and Uru plunged towards the sea. (Though sorely afflicted by the ululation, his natural reflexes caused him to right himself, and he landed lightly, cat-like.) Then Asrabey swept his flaming sword in a wide arc, creating a wall of fire around She Who Writhes’ main body. Within the kraken, Rumdoom knew that Beshela was not dead; Asrabey may have thought he had dealt the killing blow, but the Blood of Ostea had sustained her. Now the kraken tried again to control him, ordering that he attack and slay Beshela. Rumdoom had had enough of this, and he shrugged off the charm, stepped up to the feminine avatar, invoked the power of his tyrant’s teeth and crushed the avatar with a single blow. At once, the cavity walls became slick with liquid and it began to fill up with digestive juices. Outside, Quratulain shot at Asrabey, Asrabey threw his lion shield and pinned Uriel. Then he dashed out along a tenctacle that acted as a convenient bridge beneath his feet, taking him exactly where wanted to be – within melee range of Uriel, who he sought (and failed) to dominate. Uriel and Quratulain were both grabbed by local tendrils: Uriel invoked a spell and became incorporeal; Quratulain cut herself free. Rumdoom scooped up Beshela in one giant arm, then deftly rolled a grenade to a spot where he hoped it would do most damage. (This was one of Alden Wondermaker’s advanced jobbies.) The grenade blew a hole in the side of the kraken and Rumdoom flew out, using the power of his golden icon. Asrabey took Uriel by surprise, when he struck him despite his ghostly form; Uriel had forgotten that eladrin could now affect the spirit world due to their affinity with Av, the new plane of death. Asrabey grinned. “I like this new world. After centuries of duty, I am no longer subservient to the likes of you.” “Oh, but you are,” replied Uriel. Asrabey attacked him again with renewed ferocity.

Things got really scrappy now, as Asrabey sought to fight his way back to intercept Beshela, lashing out with a flaming burst that snagged the lurking Uru, who dropped onto the surface of the waves and struggled to get up. Blood from the kraken stained the water, and as Uru floundered on its surface, the blood began to coalesce. … [/QUOTE]
